So here is a little selection of wearable art! Finally! Putting my designs onto clothing has been something I’ve wanted to do for years 🪩 🕺 Thank you sooo much to @iwcreativenetwork (if you’re a creative person on the Isle of Wight you must join!) - with who I won a photoshoot with the fantastically fabulous @julian_winslow 📸 (Julian, thank you 🤩) 🛍️ www.mooksgoo.shop

Happy International Women's Day to all the amazing women out there who are crushing it in the world of business! And a special shoutout to all the rockstar mums, who are not only juggling work and family life, but doing it with style, grace, and a whole lot of badassery. Keep on shining, ladies - the world needs more of your brilliance and resilience! #shopfemalefounders #shopfemaleowned #badassmums #makeitindesign #hollyandco #womeninbusiness

Things that excite me in my 30s! Hola, I’m Michelle from MooksGoo. Besides the obvious things that lots of people get excited about, such as sunny days, beer gardens, Friday vibes and music, here are a few other things in life that excite me. 👌 Opening a new pot of marmite and having the first dip. The intention is to always keep it clean and shiny, but after day 3 it’s gross and sticky again. Almost the same vibe from when you started a new work book at school; page one is super neat, date underlined, joined up handwriting, the works. Page 3 is scruffy AF and you’ve lost the will. 👌 Fresh sheets. This excites me greatly. Not the actual changing of the sheets, but I always thank my past self for making the effort when I get into bed that night. 👌 Hanging out the washing. I feel like a proper grown up. 👌 Bin day. I don’t necessarily like the dragging of said bins to the front, but I’m pleased I help my fellow neighbours in reminding them what colour goes out. A binfluencer, if you will. 👌 Getting the butter right to all edges of a lightly toasted slice so there’s no dry bits. And on that theme, when you butter a cracker (yes I am a big butter fan… and cheese… and wine!) and it doesn’t break. Goals. Do share what makes you just as excited! I’d like to read your most riveting thoughts… 👏

Step into the vibrant world of MooksGoo and discover how it all began 🌈💥 Join the colorful chaos and indulge in the ultimate expression of self 😍🎨 #marchmeetthemaker2023 #brandorigin #thisisme #mooksgoo #makeitindesign #creativebusiness @theaoi #marchmeetthemaker #quirkystyle #colourfuldesigns #allaboutyou #buildingmyempire #floralpatterndesign #shopsmallbusinesses

The surfing season is rolling in, so I designed this rash guard/vest to help you through it. Bonus: UPF 50+ (UPF is SPF but for clothing) so it’ll protect your skin too. Super buttery soft and fabulous vibrant colours (to be seen easily when you wipeout like I do, often! 😆). In my shop now, woo! Men’s and kids coming soon 🌊 🏄 www.Mooksgoo.shop #surfwear #swimwearfashion #rashguarddesign #rashguardforsale #waveillustration #shopsmallbiz #womensurfers #isleofwightsurfing #wightwahines

I made this! 🌻 ✏️ Well, I designed the sunflower pattern - but it is hand made, how fabulous is that! And finally, after months of trial, errors, samples, drawing and whatnot, the LIVE button has been pressed on my new shop eeeee! I know it’s now September and the sun isn’t so sunny, but it’s shining here so I’m squeeezing one more wear out of this matchy matchy dress and shorts. More products coming soon!

Birthday joy in a dress!! 💕 The fabulous tote from @wyattandjack Dress from an ‘abroad company’ with long postage times 😂 #colourfuldress #ilovecolours❤️💚💛💜💙 #vibrantmofo

Half way to 70!! 🥳 😳 I’m still 24 at heart, but hey! I’m so very blessed to have achieved so many wonderful things (and worked very hard for them too!). But it won’t stop there. It’s like what @sarahakwisombe says, if you say what you WANT out loud, or in this case, written down, you will aim to achieve those goals even more so. Other than my family and friends being happy and healthy, here’s my list of pressure... 👩‍🎨 I’m working on my very own pattern collection for fabrics and surface design - I’ll finish it. 👩‍🎨 I’m designing my own font - I’ll finish it. 👩‍🎨 I’m creating bespoke cool things for personalised goodies - I’ll finish them and put them on my online shop. ✍🏻 I’m going to write to companies I wish to collaborate with and get some designs licensed - I’ve started a list. 🧵I’m going to learn to sew and create my own wardrobe full of funky joy (or a pillow or two, much to my husbands delight 😂) - I’ve bought the course from @makeitindesign (they’re amazing!), just need to start! 👩🏼‍💻 And I’m going to finish redesigning my bloody website which is literally taking me months (why I’m such a pedantic procrastinator with my own projects, I don’t know). And I want, and will do, all of this by my next birthday. Happy birthday me 😫😆🤩🥳 But first, 🍷 #birthdaylist #creativegoals #illustrationlist #iwantformybirthday #lifegoalsinprogress #mygoals #designcollaboration #workwithme

Wait for it.... Grumpy child ruined the focal point. She was fine after a cuddle 🙄😂 It tasted fantastic. @thebodycoach #graduateplan

Monochrome and a pop of colour puts a happy vibe in my day 🎈 Wearing colour will make you feel awesome I promise ♥️ #monochromeoutfit #happyvives #fashionloverstyle

I like to dress like my bedroom 😎😆 #emeraldgreen #mustardyellow #matchymatchy #bedroominteriordesign #fashiongoals 😆 #brightandvibrant

A sunny Monday to you! 🌞 This top is from one of those joyful ‘abroad’ shops, the ones that take 3 years for your goodies to arrive. The material is no where near what the beautiful model visually told me it was, but I did it anyway (at stupid o clock after consuming wine, always/never a good idea 😆). I love the pattern so much I’m keeping it anyway! 🐆 #rainbowjoy #funkyfashion #shitmaterial #imkeepingitanyway

halloumi is the one. Well, along with peppers, lentils, home grown tomatoes (they’re still growing woo!), spinach, rocket, coriander, chilli flakes, and a generous drizzle of @garlic_farm pesto and garlic dressing 🤤 #healthyaf #90dayplan #thebodycoach

My feet are having a little party - it’s been too long booties! A little spit shine and they’re as good as new😆 #drmartensboots #iloveyellow💛

This colour palette though! 😍 On this morning’s menu we have Greek yoghurt, vanilla protein powder, toast, figs, honey and pumpkin seeds. What a delightful day to start the day! #carbrefuelbreakfast #90dayplan #cycle3 #graduateplan @thebodycoach #colourfulfoodisgoodfood

Naked bin? These bin stickers are on my Etsy shop at the mo, but I’m being a proper seller person and listing them on Amazon. Amazon! But oh my days it is seriously complicated!! They have a serious amount of acronyms going on. Handmade section? Yes but you can’t do FBA. Ok let’s do FBA. But you can’t do customisations. And you need a FKAKBUKIY or FFFFFFFUCKKNOWSWHAT to stick on every unit. And you must place in a plastic bag. Each unit. Then label that with FML1000000.Then put all them in a big box. And that needs a HXKSNDUFBEMEJ. Every day is a school day though 😫 it’s exhausting but I’m learning new things at least! #illustrationwork #housenumbers #binstickers @etsyuk @amazonhandmade #handmadefont #typeography #mooksgoo

It's so exciting! I have actual real life abs! @thebodycoach you're a legend, and this 90 day journey has been awesome in so many ways. Lockdown was a blessing is disguise for many of us, and it has made me fall in love with exercise and healthy eating again. So a BIG FAT (muscley) THANK YOU for transforming so many lives for the better! 💪💪🧡🧡 Now for the Graduate Plan... after wine. And cheese. And a massive bowl of ice cream. Ps excuse the pants 😆😆 #90dayplan #joewicks #workout #abs #healthylifestyle #matalangymwear #girlmuscles

Happy FRIYAYYYYYYY Actually popped into a few shops today! God I have missed shopping so muchhhhh. Hope you’ve had a spectacular day 🌞 🥳

Earned loads of mumma points today putting this bad boy up. Aligning it to the Butterfly House’s slide (tree house without a tree 😆) is the only way to enter of course 🥳 #campinginthegarden #treehouseclub #weeeeeeeee #hopetheresnofoxesabout

C is for Captain slowcoach. Slowcoach because it’s taking me an AGE to complete the alphabet. When it’s finally done, they’ll be in my new online shop. Which is also taking me an age 🦥 #procrastinationkills #typography #illustrationdrawing #alphabetart #slowcoach #mooksgoo

Hello friyay. Cheers to you all 💗💓💕

Too cuteeeee! Currently working on the @iowdonkeys newsletter and catalogue with all new exciting products, so it’s handy having the fam at home so I can call upon models when the mood takes my fancy! Here is the beautiful Summer modelling the new beanie... (for when the wind changes) little Dora (she also likes to explore) popped in to see what all the fuss was about 💓 my heart! #productphotography #beaniehat #catsofinstagram #summermodel #familyhelp #graphicdesign #ilovedonkeys #isleofwight #kissthecat

WIFEY: darling, this is going to be my office. Could you do some kind of funky wave up to the ceiling? HUBS: yep. WIFEY: What do you think of black and white stripes and yellow for the other bits, with a long desk? HUBS: errrrrr it’ll look horrendous. WIFEY: what would you like for dinner? Steak? Red wine? Your favourite pud? HUBS: I’ll do your office. And yes please. WIFEY: 👌 Under £371 (except floor which was done with other rooms) Removal of chimney breast (with a good ole sledge and tip runs - chimney and breast taken out from roof and bedroom above first) = free Boards and plaster (hubs) = £40 Paint (@bandq_uk ) = £30 Stripey wallpaper and adhesive (@tesco.direct ) = £64 Wave 2.4 plywood sheet and stud work (hubs) = £25 Blinds (@blinds2go ) = £111 Wall lights and LED’s (amazon) = £20 Desk and legs (@ikeauk ) = £80 Foot rest (hubs) = upcycled with an old stool and leftover fabric (stripes rock my world) All done by us 🙌🏻 (We created a page for DIY decorating joy @decorators_divided )

This Rocketbook notebook is so brilliant! You write your notes (with an erasable pen that comes with it), take a pic with the rocketbook app, save the page as a file on your computer/phone, then wipe clean and start again! Genius 🖊 📝

#marchmeetthemaker - throwback. This sunny celebration was created back in 2013 and still one of my favourite illustrations. And now it’s officially spring, your flipping delights are soon to be set free again 🌞 #illustration #flipflops @theaoi #watercolor #watercolourillustration #springtime #toes @womenofillustration @heytheremaker #makersmovement #funky

#marchmeetthemaker - photography 📸 (day 13 but I’m so late...) Hooray for clients who bring me cake @acherryontop_iow (delicious they are too!) Although not to eat. Well maybe one or two 😑 Having a photographic studio doesn’t have to be a massive set up or cost the earth. All you need is a little natural light, a backdrop (a large piece of smooth plastic paper found on eBay), sticky tape and a few props, no one would ever know 😉 Shooting in RAW on a #nikond3300 and using @lightroom for a few tweaks... and bobs your uncle. #meetthemaker #photographytips #meetthemakerday13 #cake #cakephotography #isleofwight #cakesofinstagram #photostudio #celebratewithcake #makersmovement #smallbusiness #photography #designtips

So every month for the @the_local_directory_uk, I have a ‘hidden gems’ article about great stuff on the Isle of Wight, from eateries, shops, products or outside spaces. For April I’m featuring the incredible @wyattandjack who upcycle salvaged inflatables into the funkiest bags and accessories I’ve ever seen 🤩 I feel a large collection of new bags coming on... #wearemadebythesea #bag #funkyproducts #wyattandjack #cloud #fashion #sustainablefashion #recycle #reuse #isleofwight #totebag #handmade #ryde #upcycle #upcycledfashion #sustainablebrand

The next design brief for @makeitindesign was to create an Eastern inspired Ornate Pattern Repeat... I call this one ‘Frigus Ciculos’ (cool circles) - Latin sounds so wonderful for a pattern name! My favourite colour is yellow (if you’ve seen my wonder room (office) it’s quite obvious) but I work a lot with blues as they’re refreshing and calming - very much needed in busy lives 🤩 #winterschool2019 #pattern #fabric #ornate #easterndelight #mooksgoo #illustration #handillustrated #blue #surfacepatterndesign #repeatpattern #mockup #trend #calm #calming

My first ever dress design squeeee! The design was actually for a scarf (swipe) but wanted to see what it looked like on a dress, too. I call the pattern: Occulatum Fortitudo, which sounds like a Harry Potter spell but actually means ‘hidden treasure’ in Latin (I hope 😖). The trend brief title was Heritage Heroes, and heritage can also suggest someone’s treasure. Can you spot the treasure chest and treasure map 👀 really loved this brief @makeitindesign 💓 #surfacepattern #trend #winterschool2019 #fundesign #fabric #pattern #heritageprint #illustration #graphicdesign #dress @porter_and_brawn #fabricdesign #mooksgoo #scarfprint #fashion #fashiondesign

Ssoooooo excited to share the latest addition to my online #etsy shop: Large Creative Funky House Numbers!

A celestial creation! I was obsessed with ‘sun and moon’ stuff when I was younger - my room was stuffed. I even had bathroom tiles around my door because I loved them so much (although the trend is making a come back I hear 😉) So this brief for @makeitindesign #winterschool2019 excited me somewhat!

Illustration, check. Printed on aluminium and cut to shape, check. Precision gluing of stand-offs, check. Backing cards designed and printed, check. Instructions written and printed, check. Packaging of stand-offs, wall plugs and screws, check. Hole-punching (by hand urgh) each backing card for user template... nearly there. Packaged all of the above ready to sell... well the number 0s are done. Gin, CHECK! #housenumber #graphicdesign #illustration #productdesign #funky #artistsoninstagram #homemade #isleofwight #gin

It’s up! 94cm x 1meter bespoke illustrated wall art for Summer Superstar 🤩 mounted on 5mm foamex with invisible hanging. Oh, and the funkiest light around by @abigailahern #wallart #illustration #foamex #summer #signage #bedroomdecor #goldwallpaper from @bandq_uk

My dream is to have my own shop, be it online or in bricks... I’ve tinkered in creating my own products for agessssss and this year I’m on it!! I’ve created a range of funky house numbers, random - why of course, because why not. The first number has been erected successfully (woo!)... and will soon be in my very own shop (online for now)... if you have a dream (cue Rapunzel song), bloody go for it!!! #designer #2019goals #illustration #productdesign #housenumbers #dreambig #interiordesign

My first ever pattern design! I call it... ‘The Funk Flower Squish’. Each flower is 33cm wide - it’s a big’n #illustrations #pattern #mooksgoo #surfacepattern #watercolour #botanicalillustration #wallpaper #funky #flowers

LOVED creating this!! Measures 1 meter square for my little girl’s new bedroom - Summer themed. Her favourite bear is in there too (his name is Harrod... from Harrods) (that word looks so odd the more you stare at it). Every element is illustrated by hand (and painted by my brush 🎨) #illustration #wallart #mooksgoo #summer #graphicdesign #bespoke #purple #pink #typography #hopeshelikesit #harrods #watercolour
